Bhoomika Vihar is a woman headed organization. Most of the leadership positions are leaded by girls/women. Victims, survival and vulnerable girls/women are performing actively their leadership position in bringing change especially for breaking the cycle of victimization for them and for other girls. We especially are working with marginalized section vulnerable girls as they are the 1st Generational Learners. We lead with the concept "Replace Broom with Books and Pen. Change Will Take Place." Marginalized section vulnerable girls who are pursuing Graduation are transforming their lives as 1st Generational Graduates. We believe - The girls are our present and future so there is need to involve them with the process of understanding, decision-making, responsibility and ownership. Any Investment in a girl child can reap multiple rewards in future. Theory of Change of Bhoomika Vihar basically revolves around working with disadvantage section of society especially with Adolescent girls leading with Triangle Approaches "Preventive- Curative- Advocacy." This basically led to overall mainstreaming of adolescent girl at social, educational and economical level. Placing girls in leadership position at Preventive, Curative and Advocacy level, we actually are confronting the biased mindset and Creating Role Models as Chain of Change Makers. This led to motivate and inspire a life with respect and dignity, breaking the cycle of victimization and poverty. Children/girls in need of care and protection are getting involved with constructive approaches and multidisciplinary services for social and educational mainstreaming. Bhoomika Vihar 3tier Approach- Bhoomika Vihar continues to play the role of a catalyst in empowering vulnerable and victims and mobilizing marginalized communities, directly as well as through developing leadership and ownership at preventive, curative and advocacy level. 3tier Approach primarily talks on equality and equity based intervention Preventive Level - Offering life skill knowledge, self defense literature, and value added courses, education and preventive measures to the vulnerable and high risk group to SPEAK OUT against violence. Especial effort is designed to work closely with the children who are living without parental care. Curative Level- Breaking the Cycle of Victimization by offering value added vocational skill and alternative livelihood opportunities to the survivals of violence are becoming easy target of child marriage and trafficking under the pretext of fake & forced marriage for cheap labor and sex slavery. It helps them regaining their lost dignity and respect within their own social boundaries. Advocacy Level- Offering platform, capacity building and convergence with systems Strategy We focus on Social and Behavioral Change Communication giving preference to Music and Folk Art as Therapy for bringing change to the traditional orthodox gender biased thinking and practice of community towards a girl. Music can be the best therapy and medium in connecting the rural community and in developing confidence and fear of mind. Bhoomika Vihar always formulates strategy around Non- Institutional care and Community Based Sustainable structures and approaches. Single Initiative Can Bring "The Change"- "The Innovation" Girls are present and future they need to be empowered, vocal and vital. Appropriate platform is required where the adolescent girls would be able to share their feelings, ideas and other doubts altogether, freely and without hesitation.
